I never cry about TV shows or movies.
However, I first started to understand and watch football around 2005. That was the year that Denver made it to the playoffs and beat NE in the divisional round (I remember the Champ Bailey interception) but lost to Pittsburgh in the AFC championship round. I didn't cry then, but ever since that year I grew up and became a die-hard Bronco fan (to the point where I decided to join this forum). Then came the Baltimore playoff game in January. The whole regular season was magical and really was a bright point for me (after enduring the rocky late Shanahan years and the disastrous McDaniels tenure). I was so confident by playoff time, only to have all my hopes crushed by a lucky Joe Flacco. I didn't endure the multiple Super Bowl losses in the 80s and 90s, but this was the first time I experienced a cold loss from our Broncos. After the game I was so stunned and didn't know what to do. I just put my head down and sobbed like a baby into the night. I was too stunned to watch Colin Kaepernick's destruction of the Packers. I hated the Ravens from that night and I will for the rest of my life (just kidding, but we have a rivalry now).
